Brandon Mull

I just wanted to share a suggestion of an author everyone should try. Brandon Mull is a fantasy-adventure author who writes great novels. I have read all of his recent books (except the most recent...I'm finishing it this week), and have thoroughly enjoyed them all :)

Here are his full novels:

Fablehaven [the first book of the series]
Fablehaven: Rise of the Evening Star
Fablehaven: Grip of the Shadow Plague
Fablehaven: Secret of the Dragon Sanctuary
Fablehaven: Keys to the Demon Prison

The Candy Shop War [the first book of the series]
The Candy Shop War: Arcade Catastrophe

Beyonders: A World Without Heroes
Beyonders 2: Seeds of Rebellion
Beyonders 3: Chasing the Prophecy

He also has one or two kids book about Pingo.

This is his website: http://brandonmull.com/site/

I hope you all enjoy his books as much as I do. My wife and I both agree that his Fablehaven books are some of the best books we've ever read.

If y'all want to leave comments of why you like Brandon Mull or anything else pertaining to this post, go ahead! :)

Writing Letters to Missionaries

I just felt today that I needed to write a letter to a friend who is on a mission, and I wanted to share this invitation with all of you. Make a commitment and write to a friend or family member who is serving a mission :)

Also, if you don't know anyone who is serving a mission, just write a letter/email to a friend or family member who you think might need some words of encouragement. I bet it will brighten up their day/week.

It doesn't matter if it's short or long :)

My Book Blog

So I'm writing a book (slow process) that I want to be a fantasy-adventure book. I have one and a half chapters posted on a blog. I'm not continually adding to it, but when I have time and new ideas come, I write. I have to invite people to be blog readers if they want to read them. If any of you are interested, comment on this blog, and I'll get in contact with you.

An Insight From My Personal Scripture Study #6

I've been preparing a talk to give this Sunday for Sacrament Meeting. I wanted to share a quote I found that I will share in my talk.

"Communication with our Father in Heaven is not a trivial matter. It is a sacred privilege. It is based upon eternal, unchanging principles. We receive help from our Father in Heaven in response to our faith, obedience, and the proper use of agency. May the Lord inspire you to understand and use the principles that lead to personal revelation and inspiration." - Elder Richard G. Scott, How to Obtain Revelation and Inspiration for Your Personal Life, April 2012 General Conference

Goodreads

So I just added a few things to my blog, and I wanted to let y'all know about them.

On the right side of my blog, I have two lists. They're both connected to my Goodreads.com profile. One is the books I'm currently reading, and the other one is the books I have read in the year 2013. On the later list of books I just mentioned, I have what rating I gave it (1 to 5 star rating scale).

Also, I have a link that you can copy and past in your browser if you want to be my Goodreads.com friend. If that link doesn't work, let me know and I'll personally invite you.

If you want, there is also an option on the right side of my blog that you can type in your email address, and whenever I post something, you will get an email about it.

I hope y'all enjoy the changes I have made!
